Starting point is 00:00:00 Highlights are brown bag. This is Be Real from Cypress Hill. Where are you from, Esse? Don't you know I'm local? Whittier, where the girls are prettier and the robots are issier. Hey, Whittier just got hooked up with about six new robots. And Greg, you actually saw one driving around your neighborhood. I saw like three of them around my neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Wow, and there's literally only six roaming around the streets of Whittier. They are sent to your block for a reason. I don't know why. I feel like I'm being watched by them. I was right one over too. So these robots are very different than what we've seen around downtown L.A. where it's like the delivery robots. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:39 These actually work for the city. They're wearing like a bright colored vest. And they're actually being used to scan sidewalks checking for cracks, uneven pavement, basically anything that could trip people up. Now, Whittier was not like recently there was a lawsuit. Yes, because of how uneven the sidewalks are. Yeah. Didn't someone win like, someone like hell of break?
Starting point is 00:01:00 It was like 20, 30 mil. Yeah. The trees lift up the sidewalks because of the roots. The lady tripped and fell. Yes. So now the city of Whittier is like, all right. We got fixed all of this. And the reason they got caught up is because there was multiple complaints before,
Starting point is 00:01:14 and it's not like they didn't know. Yeah. So they knew about these sidewalks. Didn't do anything. Lady shipped up. They got sued. They didn't even have a complaints department. That's what got cooked.
Starting point is 00:01:24 Crazy. All right. So this is a thing. These robots clearly are going to make people. upset. Greg was outside his crib just filming it. Yeah. Pissed. But you're saying that it's like watching the sidewalks trying to see Sidewalk. Like it's trying to figure out what's wrong with the sidewalks. That thing was
Starting point is 00:01:40 staring at the sky. It wasn't even doing its job. You don't know that it doesn't have little cameras on the underside. It's not going to get on its knees. It's a robot. It looks like Wally. You know, has a little eyes or like looks around. It was not looking at the floor. But it's tracking the pavement. I mean, just the route is going to tell you. So why does it have eyes? Make it look friendlier? They're called deck spots by way and before you ask according to daxbots they're not taking jobs the company says they're just handling the dull dirty and dangerous work so that city workers can focus on bigger things now before this
Starting point is 00:02:11 city workers used to have to walk every little bit of of block around the city in the heat to try to figure this stuff out yeah they clearly missed it huh and they clearly missed it yeah clearly they were taking some kind of break absolutely and so they're sending these robots out to go and see what's wrong with the I'm not even kidding. It took that robot probably like 30 minutes to go five feet. It wasn't moving at all. And when your sidewalk is fixed, you better thank that robot. Reportedly, they spent $13 million on those robots.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Yeah. Not taking any jobs, though. Yeah. Right. A job that would have, you know, paid somebody $20 an hour, was replaced by $13 million. Well, according to this, that person still has their job. Okay. They're just not doing the going outside and walking mile to mile to do that part.
Starting point is 00:02:56 For now. There's not that big of a city to do that. Like you could just walk down the street. I don't know. Do you guys want your freaking cyberlots next or not? Yeah. Like I just feel like we're just complaining over anything. I will bring up something.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Oh my God. Well, shut up and enjoy this. These fools are cleaning up your block. No, they're not. And the humans that used to do it and we're clearly chilling are doing something bigger and better.
Starting point is 00:03:17 There was one stuck in the middle of the road. I almost ran it over. It wouldn't move. Maybe because the road was broken. The robot's broken. Not the road. Anyways. Speaking of this,
Starting point is 00:03:26 you're going to be called robophobic soon. Because that is what happened to one man. He's being called robophobic online because he went in on a delivery app robot. Now the robot was right next to him at a crosswalk and was asking him, hey, can you, like on the screen, asked him, can you push the crosswalk button for me? He was not having it. Hello, what do you want? What do you want? You want me to press the button for you?
Starting point is 00:03:53 You want me to press the button for you, mingo, fuck you. Pursing yourself. You took a human job. and you want me to press the button for you? No, hello, fuck you. Excuse you. Yeah, excuse you. I'm not pressing nothing.
Starting point is 00:04:08 You press it. You sit there, you took a human job, you take over our infrastructure, and then you want me to help you out. Go fuck yourself. Yeah. New York. Got to be New York.
Starting point is 00:04:19 You know, they always have those movies about how the robots are taking over. Yeah. But they never show what the humans did to the robots before they took over. And it's stuff like this low-key Bullying the robots? They're going to remember on their hard drive forever
Starting point is 00:04:33 Oh for sure They're going to build it into their algorithm And then take over You see the movies? We have, we have Let's get into some schismation Whoopo That's the sound that I'm police
Starting point is 00:04:44 The petty police You're petty, you're just petty I'm being petty Petty, petty girl Pretty and a pettiest Let this be a lesson to you, young gans Don't be calling old people all Because they get grumpy
Starting point is 00:04:56 No, that's not because they're old It's because you call them old All right, that's what happened with comedian Hosts, he's done so many things This guy, Howie Mandel He created Bobby's World Which I love from the 90s, big up to Bobby's World He also was a judge on America's Got Talent
Starting point is 00:05:11 And hosted deal or no deal Like this guy is it That's where I'm like I've seen him out, now it registers Thank you, thank you Deal or no deal at the casinos Well, at his big age He just turned 70 years old
Starting point is 00:05:25 Which is a... What? Yes, which is a feat in and of itself, so big up to him for that. However, he went on to a show with Kelly Rippa, and she called him good-looking. And he got mad. What? Check this up. He just celebrated 70 years.
Starting point is 00:05:42 You're 70 years old. Yes, I'm 70. How's it feel? It doesn't make any sense. What do you mean it doesn't make any sense? I look great. That doesn't mean anything to me. No, it does.
Starting point is 00:05:52 No, no. No. I don't like that because that's a caveat. When you say you're, because you tell somebody you're 70 and they go, you look great. We're not saying you look great for 70. Yes, you are without saying 70. We're saying that.
Starting point is 00:06:06 You look great. I am saying that. I don't believe you're 70. No, no, I'm saying, it's like saying you're smart for a stupid person. Yeah. I get it. That was a compliment, though.
Starting point is 00:06:18 It was a heated back and forth on live TV, pretty crazy. I get it though, because it's right. It's like, people look at you like, Oh, you're actually pretty smart. It's like, do I look dumb? Like, I get that. Yes. Yes, the same thing as being old.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Yes, you do. No, bro. If he's 70, he looks great. He does. He looks like he's 50. That's very different than the smart, stupid situation. It could be a diss still. Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:41 It can be a bit of a backhanded compliment. Yeah. But it's not the intention. I mean, what are you supposed to say? Oh, you look great for 50 even though you're 70? What? Like, you know what I'm saying? It doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Oh, yeah. Or if I say you look great, will you take it as? I'm saying you look great for your age. I can't just say you look great. No, just say you look great. Then I guess you have to stop there. Because if not, old people get quanky. I'm grumber.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Yeah. And him being 70 is amazing. So big up to how he had. He has, I have to tell you guys about my encounter with him. And I felt so stupid after. He had, I didn't know, but I guess he's openly talked about having OCD. Okay. And I went to shake his hand.
Starting point is 00:07:22 He doesn't do handshakes. You can't touch him. What? Yeah, he's a German cold. Yeah. So I kind of like lean forward to do a handshake and he, he, no, no, no, I think I was going to hug him because you know me. Yeah, you know, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Yeah. So I go in to hug him and he like gives me a dab and I kind of like trip up and I feel so stupid. And then they're like, no. It's happened to a lot of people. Yeah, he does not touch. He doesn't do that. He's a comedian. Have you ever run into him?
Starting point is 00:07:44 I've been around him, but again, just been around them because I know and I've heard of the stories. I'm just like, just from afar. Yeah, what's up, bro. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Yeah. know that so I guess too I don't know if that's part of it but yeah don't call him good looking for his age and don't try to fist no don't try to him hug him talk to him don't even just try to be in his face he made Bobby's world to get rid of everybody all right scrolling with zombies get your popcorn's ready because this oh my god you have got No, don't.

Starting point is 00:12:09 We need your help. We need a line. I mean, phone line. We got your fault. The homie help line. Tammy needs our help. Tammy hit us up because her friend Joanna of six years, who's one of her best friends, said she should have a sleepover with her and her boyfriend, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Sleepover's different. Yeah, sleepover's different. That's innocent. Why she really means to sleepover? I know. Why she's all nervous, she pulls up, and then there's just popcorn some more. Like, girls' night. She has a trench coat on with lingerie, and it's like, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:12:48 It's very inappropriate. She should go home right now. Leave. So she said, when are we going to have a sleepover? She was shocked and said, girl, you tell me. And now she texted her and said, sleepover this weekend, question mark with the eyes. and now Tammy doesn't know what to do. Part of her wants to try it, but she's also worried that's going to change the whole friendship.
Starting point is 00:13:11 And she wanted to know if anyone has gone through a friend to threesome situation and if it ended up being fun or it ruined the friendship afterwards. Yeah. And none of us in here have had that experience. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Speak for yourself.
Starting point is 00:13:28 I'm happy the way there. Yeah, I like the things away. But it's crazy. You know the terminology. Like you just taught me unicorn. And it's that bull. Who knows a lot? Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:36 It's just. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. Well, that's what I'm saying. Read a book. Be curious. You're really curious. Which book?
Starting point is 00:13:42 What do you read? Read a spicy book. Read a spicy book. What are they? What are they called? What are they? What are they like steamy books or whatever? Like the ones that girls read, you know?
Starting point is 00:13:55 I don't even know they have those books. There's a book. Come on. Don't make us out to be like, like, we're the bad guys. When girls are like, oh my God, 50 shades of cray. Yeah, those are kind of books. Yeah, I didn't read that one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:08 So Tammy wants to know if she should go through with it. She doesn't want to ruin her friendship with her home girl. And her home girl said things, and I'm going to tell you this right now. Like, from a girl's perspective, I've totally, like, I've held Angie's hand. We've called each other our soulmates, like, all of that. But it has never felt crossing the line. No. So when she said that before her friend used to be like, be my girlfriend already.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Wait, they're laughing. What? face. No, what? He said, we nap together. What? What?
Starting point is 00:14:40 He said, what? That's crazy. How is that weird? I would never, I would never nap with my boy dick. Sorry, no. Exactly. I'm not talking about men.
Starting point is 00:14:50 I wouldn't fall asleep. I'm not talking about what guys would do. You literally ask for girls perspective. I'm giving you the girls perspective. Yeah. For sure. Please. Do that.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Yeah, it doesn't always, like it doesn't go to that next level, right? And then the fact that she's kind of like, well, it went to the next level where she was asking when is, when can I sleep over with her and her man? Then it was like, okay, it didn't turn me off. It didn't make her feel weird. It actually made her feel curious. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:21 So I guess that is a sign in of itself that maybe you, like, I don't know. Yeah, she wants to do it. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Or maybe you were just groomed this whole time. Somebody that doesn't want to. Somebody that doesn't want to. do it's going to be like no what what the hell like that's exactly run away so she's she's
Starting point is 00:15:38 kind of down see that's my point that's what I was getting at that mean like literally it could go as far as like yeah or we're out someone hits on you oh that this is my wife or this is my girlfriend or whatever so that you just are each other's I don't know support system but it never goes to that crazy part right the fact that it's getting there with her and she's not like running for the hills it can be showing her that she's running for the thrills but she does want to know if it's could work out in a way that ruins her friendship and she doesn't want to do that to her that's her priority she still wants to be her homegirls home girl so she wants to know if anyone else has been through it you've been through you were homies and then there's a threesome happening and then now
Starting point is 00:16:17 slippery slope eve in hollywood eve what's up eve hey guys hello hi what's up eve eve talk to us what would you tell tammy well i'm polly amorous which means that i participate in more than one romantic relationship at a time, which certainly comes with its challenges. I'm currently in a higher-archal polyamorous relationship. Okay, what is that? I went to Polyameral high school. That's the same thing. That means higher arcule, like there's a higher arcic, and that means I have a primary partner, but that we're both allowed to play. And the main important thing is that we have a specific foundation of trust. And basically what Tammy is dealing with, Tammy's a friend that's been invited, right, to participate with a different couple. That's referred to as a unicorn in our
Starting point is 00:17:04 community. And- He's all your community. Con. Yeah, as in my community. It's referred to as a unicorn. And basically, she should just make sure that the deep foundation of trust with her friend and that her friend has a deep foundation of trust with her man. And that's just really the most important thing. Like if anybody doesn't feel safe or is nervous or apprehensive in any way about going through with this, do not do it. Someone will get hurt. Someone will be disappointed. But I feel like if they should just maybe take her on a date, a little date, they just take her out and they go and they talk about it. They talk about rules and they talk about boundaries. You know, that might be necessary. And then everybody just have a ball. So you're saying don't jump to the
Starting point is 00:17:52 sleep over. That's too soon. That's like they need to like go hang out first. Test drive it. Yeah. Like has she ever hung out with her friend's man before? I have a question for you, baby girl, because you said you're in multiple relationships at one time, although you do have your main partner. Okay, so I have a question. Would you do this with your friends or are these people complete strangers? So the reason I say they should like talk about it is because it is trickier with friends than it is with strangers. because they already have this relationship. And you don't know how both of those, like the friendship and then the partnership,
Starting point is 00:18:29 you don't know how those are going to coexist, which is why it's super important to talk about it. Because with friends, it is a lot trickier to do. And I have seen it go wrong more than I've seen it go right. You're the perfect opinion we needed because that's exactly her fear, that it will go wrong in the friendship. Don't do it. She's, they have to, like, she should have a, like, they should really talk about boundaries, just her and just her friend with no man present. They should really talk about that. Who feels safe doing what?
Starting point is 00:19:02 And who, what's your biggest fear going into this? They should really hash that out before they jump into this. That, uh, that conversation doesn't sound sexy at all. I'm going to be honest. Um, well, you know, well, honestly, that's valid. But people avoiding conversations like this is what ruins the sex in the law. Oh, that's the key. You, like, when you feel safe, oh, my God, all bets are off.
Starting point is 00:19:25 I'll do anything. You know what I'm saying? I'm not going to say it on the air, but like, I'll do anything. If I feel safe, you know what I mean? What is anything? And that's how it is for women. Hold on, what does anything mean? I'm not on the air.
Starting point is 00:19:40 All of a sudden. Hand up on the knees, swallowing. Oh, my God. Okay, cut her off. Get the hell out of here. This kid on here. You're kidding in car. Hey, put on line three.

Starting point is 00:24:02 How many fake ones of Vic are there? Okay, Vic. Be honest. Be honest. Because you, because you back here. I did. Yeah. You got to give game.
Starting point is 00:24:12 It was, all it was, it was very subtle. It was very subtle because she had liked one of my photos. I actually like a video, just like me and my dad. like it was like his birthday or something whatever she liked it and i'm like who the hell's like in my video oh oh okay cool boom then uh uh i end up seeing her profile a couple days later then i like some of her photos then she likes a couple more on mine and then all i did was send a DM of the spider man emoji like like pointing and it was like you like we're the same like we're the same you know and then it just went from there and then i back there did she did she respond yeah what was her
Starting point is 00:24:47 response uh like you know something like twin or i don't know it was just like it was cool it was like a cool vibe it wasn't too much i wasn't like doing the most like what's up baby where you from where you at like you weren't sending no it was just cool like we were just having regular conversation for a while and it wasn't like the DM you sent sweetie it was different no that's been nonsense he did he loved sweetie back in the day back in the day was that word because quavo got sweetie off a DM Off an emoji
Starting point is 00:25:17 An emoji That was before I predated Quavo You know what I'm saying? Didn't work for you though Yeah No it didn't I didn't want to
Starting point is 00:25:23 You touch your stuff What? Go ahead That make mon Move Yeah So make mon Move
Starting point is 00:25:31 Yeah All right If you've ever been Or felt like You couldn't put down your phone Because you were scrolling Maybe
Starting point is 00:25:40 You knew you How to go to sleep But you literally Just spent An hour On Instagram Or you're forever on YouTube or you put your phone down and literally a second later you pick it right back
Starting point is 00:25:50 up just to refresh your feed right almost feeling a little bit addicted yeah the algorithms are set up that way however now they have been found liable and have to pay up for it the los angeles jury has ruled against meta platforms that's facebook i believe that's instagram too meta platforms and YouTube, siding with a 20-year-old woman who says the apps harmed her mental health. She said that she started using Instagram as a kid as young as nine and became addicted leading to depression and anxiety. The jury agreed. Saying that the companies and finding that the companies were liable, were negligent, designed addictive features, and failed to warn users about the risk. Now get this. This young woman was awarded,
Starting point is 00:26:42 $6 million in damages with the meta responsible for the majority of this. They do believe, like they've came out with their own responses, meta and YouTube, and they will be challenging this. However, this is big, and I'm clearly can see why they would challenge it, because now that this young woman won her case, now it sets it up for so many people to come at them with lawsuits. No, seriously. Because we kind of think it's our own doing.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Yeah. But bro, when was it, you weren't addicted to stuff like this beforehand? I wasn't. Some people were, I don't know. Some people might have been on the pokey. But you know what I'm saying? Yeah. You never felt this way, this strong, I guess, need to constantly be on your phone before these
Starting point is 00:27:27 types of apps. Little did we know, because we're thinking it's out of our own will. Little did you know they're designed that way and didn't tell you about it. At all. And yeah, it sets a precedent because it's like, as soon as I saw this, I'm like, oh, how much am I owed? Yep. Because, you know, I feel the same way.
Starting point is 00:27:42 I started with my space when I was like 12 and, you know, yeah, there is some times where like I'll be at the table and my girl will be like, why are you on your phone? I'm like, actually, I don't know. Yeah. You know, I really, it's a habit. It's a habit. And now it has turned into so commonplace, but we weren't that way before. So I do think that this is a big step in holding these platforms accountable.
Starting point is 00:28:02 It can almost seem like really we're going to blame them. No, but for real, they've been set up in a way to like, again, when we talk about, I was talking about something, then all of a sudden it's there. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And on the dark side of it, if you have really sad thoughts or feelings or depressive, like, I don't know, ideas. Yeah. These algorithms can be set up in a way that will not come for you, but give you more of that content.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Kind of supporting that negative feeling. Not in a good way, not to get you out of it, but just adding onto it. And that could be the straw that broke the camel's back in some places. Yeah. That could be the push that takes you over. edge and so now these companies are being found liable for that yeah because it's like prove it's not addictive then and they i bet you those companies can't well you got to think something with like cigarettes right had to come with the warning label you know everything has these things things need these types
Starting point is 00:28:55 of warning labels and unfortunately these social media places and youtube didn't do that so yeah very very crazy story to keep up with like i said they will be challenging it and we know how these things go in this country but this is one big step towards the accountability of and how addictive these apps can be.
